The area
Address
Neighborhood: Monastiraki
Monastiraki is a souvenir-hunting enclave with a difference. Apart from the dramatic backdrop of the Acropolis, its network of alleys and pedestrianized streets surround the remains of both the Greek and Roman agoras, adding the quaint concept that this is where the ancients also came to shop. Named after the tiny monastery church at its center, Monastiraki Square is a lively spot by day or night, with street peddlers vying for your attention to sell you nuts and sweets. Down beside the metro station, the official Flea Market is an unbroken row of souvenir shops until you come to antique-oriented Platia Avissinias, while Pandrossou Street on the other side of the square offers more tourist shopping. The pedestrianized street beside the Greek Agora is lined with cafés offering fine views.
How to get there

We ordered a lemonade and they brought us a glass of ice with 10% lemonade ! The value for money experience is very bad ! When we told the shop they told us that they put lemonade with a measuring cup which is the most ridiculous thing ever told !

Great environment, artistic and relaxing, makes you wanna stay there for hours. Great bar and helpful staff.
I've also heard that occasionally it has art exhibitions on the mid floor.
Very good concept.

When visiting friends in the city, we were taken to this watering hole and I must say, I was impressed. There was an interesting art exhibition to explore in various rooms in the back and niches at the sides, the central courtyard was covered by what I believe was a tensile tent structure to keep the heat at bay. Marvelous.

Such a great spot! It’s a bit hidden which makes it even more special. The drinks were really nice and I loved the whole atmosphere: great music, relaxed people, really multicultural and super creatively designed. A must for everyone who loves exploring places that are less touristy and enjoys bars with a bit of a hipster charm.

Got to know about this through tripadvisor. Its a cool funky place - central courtyard which is the bar surrounded by shops and a first floor thats devoted to exhibition areas. We went in the night so the shops has already shut down for the day. Its a great place to spend a couple of hours, have a few drinks. The music was very enjoyable - an eclectic and animated list of reggae, soft rock, EDM.
For veggies - be aware that the menu has only 3 dishes (as far as i could make out) suitable for you. Bruschetta (the veggie option with olives / tomatoes and a chees spread), Dakos ( a cretan dish made from cretan rusks, topped with a generous layer of feta cheese) and a greek salad. It was more than ok with us as we were not there to really eat anyway
To sum it up, do visit this place. It has a supercool and choilled out vibe
